LONDON JOURNALS. Plornia2 C )10 ~cfp, Sept. 1 11 "extract of a Letter from a German Gentleman in Bo n Awes to a Friend in Lond : BllellOS Ayres, May 19, 181 g. I take the liberty of inclosing here a circumstantial Tria non of ttle victory of Maipo, in which the last royal expedi tion from was totally annihilated, of which you have tniflonhtedly hinz ago got the news in Lorolon. I ant sorry to say. that in general the cool et of the French Officv rs_ is not flinch liked, and that the Chief of General San Martin's Staff, the well known fhoteral 13ra4er, was .lismissed front hiS mployn , rnt a sh,rt time before the last victory. I should have aserltrd this to a prevailing duty against foreigners in general, were it not spoken in the highest .terms of the Bri tish Officers who assisted in the battle, amongst which, a young artillery officer, Mr. Miller. and the General's Aide-de- Callao, Major O'Brien, are particularly mentioned. The osaluct of this blare Irishman, who has served six campaigns in America, reflects honour upon his native country. pendent of tAing a colour from the enemy in the heat of the battle, and of makiog prisoners several officers of high rank, amongst them the Lieu' enant-Colonel of the brave regiment a Burgos, he found, when pursuing the enemy, a pm-titian. teau laying on the ground, containing 400 ounces of ;fold (ti,aoo dollars). Poor as he was, having lost every article of his bagpge in the defeat of Titicit, lie brought instantly this portmanteau to his beloved General jhowevcr it might he tonsidered his own property as spoils of war). The General offered hint on the spot to take as twin money as he wanted for hi itself, but O'Brie❑ constantly refused, saying, that as lung as he 'anew the country to be in so urgent necessity for money, he would not touch a farthing of it. The last war in Germany offered, as far as I know, no instances of the saints bind. The Spaniards are at present in possession of no other place io the north of Chili than the fort of Talodhoano, which is immediately to be besieged. But to the south of the province of Arauco they keep still Valdivia and the island of Chiloi. The blockade of Valparaiso is raised, and the Patriotic man of war El Lautaro (formerly the British East Indianian the Windham), armed and equipped in that harbour, gave th'e chase to the blockading Sponish frigate La Esmerahk, and the brig of war Pesuela, that accompanied her. The last letters received from Buenos Ayres do not con firm the report of the capture of General Ossorio on his way to Lima, by the Lautaro, the Chili Government ship, lately purchased. The name of Lautaro was given to her in com pliment to the distinguished Chief of the Araucanian nation, who so long resisted the conquest of the Spaniards, and whose tribes to ►his day 'email) in an independent state. The Lan taro had captured a brig called .the San Miguel, proceeding from Talcaguano to Lima, on board of whitili there were some Spanish Officers rind tro,ps, as well as other passengers, and as they had arrived at Valparaiso, it was ascertained that Ossorio was not among them. The advices referred to . give no information of the Spanish Commander-in-Chief since the battle of Maipo. The whole Of the e,mbined Chili and Duet)° , Ayres cavalry had gone to the south to atleTal caguano.gliano. The Lamar() was about to proceed so sea, in search of the Esmeralda, for the second time, having handled her v'ery roughly in the first rencontre. It appears the Esme ralda and brig Peeuela both sheered off from the Latitaro, and only escaped by their superior salline. The Venganza had gone down to Lima. General San Martin s'as making. ar rangements with the Buenos Ayres Government for further ope rat ions. [Morning Hera ld .] The Queen has found much benefit from a conch, which bas been made under the direction of the Prince Regent. and was sent down to Kcw ou Wednesday night. It is su con trived, that it can be used either in an upright sitting pos ture, with complete support for every part of the body, or it can be gradually inclined, by machinery, do any degree of Yecum i)e ncy, without a perceptible motion to the patient.— Her Majesty slept in it on Wednesday night, and enjoyed ~ sore refreshing sleep than had been expected. Yesterday, she continued rather to improve in strength and spdrits throughout the day, and her appetite was better than it has been.—ln the course of this day, the Duke, and Duchess of York again paid their dutiful respects to her Majesty ; and, about half-past five o'clock, the Prince Regent arrived from Hampton Court. his Royal Highness instantly visited the chamber oilier Majesty, and had the gratification of witness ing the success of his invention. lie afterwards dined with the Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester.—Sir Henry Halford left Kew, about six o'clock, to visit the Prin cess Sophia, at Windsor Castle. Her Royal Highness is se riously indisposed with a low nervous fever.---Sir Francis Mihnan remains it) attendance o❑ her Majesty. [Morning Post.] - We regret to state that the accounts in some of the Papers of yesterday, of her Majesty being able to eat her meals heartily, are totally void of foundation ; equally unfounded arc the reports of her having experienced benefit from an operation, no operation whatever having been performed upon her Majesty.—The Regent continues his anxious and amiable attentions towards her Majesty; the I)uhe of York evinces no less a degree of laudable filial solicitude ; and the Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester are constant in their attendance upon their severely afflicted, but dearly beloved Mother. [New Times.] Her Majesty within the last forty-eight hours has suffered less severely, and there have been intervals of less ingnie tude ; but although those intermissions bare brought some consolation, yet many of the most distressing symptoms con tinue the same. The amiable and truly excellent Duchess of Clowester, as well as the Princess Augusta, arc unceasing in t heir affectionate duties ; and no day passes without bringing the most tender attentions front his Royal highness the Duke of York. The Prince Regent continues to devote himself ex clusively to the exercise of all that can be consoling, affec. tionate, and dutiful, towards his august parent. Indeed, it is well known that on every occasion the best affections of the heart have ever been carried by this illustrious and exalted Person to the bosom of his family. [The Times.] Recent accounts from Angostura state, that Colonel Wilson, a British 0 flcer, and native of Ireland, who some time ago joined e cause of the Patriots in South America, had be come . • volved in an affair likely to terminate in disagreeable consequences. This officer, having frequent occasion in the course of the - campaign to remark the military blunders THE QUEEN.—The following is the Bulletin of this (Irty " KEW PALACE, SEPT. I I. " HER MAJESTY continues much in the same state BS yesterday, although she has had some good sleep in the night. (Signed) " H. HALFORD. " F. MILMAN." The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which were due this morning, have not arrived. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HAVANNAH, DATED JULY 29. " Business here is very dull ; a large number of vessels in port ; American produce generally dull, and the Island produce very scarce and dear. The crops of coffee and sugar are uncommonly short. The trade to Africa here is great, though not so extensive as it hes been. For these last three months, upwards of 15 vessels have sailed, and nearly as many have arrived. One ship, with 300 slaves on board, is now performing quaran tine, having the small-pox on board. " Several Insurgent privateers are now eruizing off this coast, and scarcely a ship arrives but what has been plundered by them. " A large Spanish frigate has arrived here from Vera Cruz, with 2,000,000 dollars on board." MANCHESTER, SEPT. 9.—The refractory Spin ners continue to parade the streets now in very small parties, but are perfectly tranquil. It was to have been hoped, that the example of those re turning to their work on :Monday would have been an inducement for others to have tent!ered their services, but it is imagined, that so long as they can he supplied with money from the diffe rent Delegates, which we understand are very nu merous, travelling in various pa'rts of the coun try, they will continue to hold out ; as fur their attempting to proceed to any act of violence, the inhabitants are perfectly secure, as well as the Weavers in not being obstructed in going to and from their employment. Another induce ment for their holding out is, that there has been a meeting at Bury with the Weavers, the result of which was, that the Masters are nt present acting on the same principle as the Master Cotton Spinners, in not acceding to any unjust demand fur an advance of wages. W e have read Mt'. littotlati tar's Letter to Sit' SAMUEL ROMILLY with attention, and we cannot but consider it as merely an attempt on dip part of that Gentleman to revive his drooping popula rity. lie NI have no other realofrit.the pnIK lication. That , there have been net; ej,ices an abuses in the maWgement of Charitable Institu tions cannot be doubted, and that they ought to he removed every body will admit. But what in terest can Ministers have in the continuance of such abuses ) On the contrary, it must be their interest to have the purposes of the respective Founders fully accomplished, and such measures adopted as may prevent the recurrence of those abuses. This is the way to obtain a valuable popularity, and no doubt Nlini::ters will endeavour by such means to attain it. The visitors of such Institutions, perhaps, have been induced to rely too much on the activity and rectitude of those to whom the management , of the Institutions have been intrusted, but the inquiry now set on loot will render thee► more attentive. Ti►e Conin►is- sioners are men of the first character, who can have no object but truth, justice, and the esta blishment of a regular administration of the Funds left by the Founders. lir. littouonata cannot impeach their competency, and therefore his pub lication is needless, officious, and vexatious, and sbews a rtstless disposition which induces him per petnally to intrude himself into public notice. He may possibly imagine, that by this incessant pur suit of popularity, he may induce the people at large to think that if be were in office he would be for ever on the watch to explore and to remove abuses. But he is generally considered as a man anxious for power, and acting with a Party, and they would rather see him on the side of Opposition, where such characters ate useful in keeping gli nissters on the alert, than sinking into submissive silence or servile acquiesence as a Placeman. We again assert, that his Pamphlet is wholly uncalled for, because able, upright, and most respectable Persons are appointed, who need no hints from Mr. BROUGHAM what coarse to pursue, and to whom, indeed, the suggestions of Party ought to be viewed as the objects of distrust, arising from vain or interested motives, or as the effusions of disappointed spleen. committed by tulivar, t►a.l is ligriatit pt tl etr fat Al conle- quences to the army under his coamniand, and to she cause in which he had embarked, was indkereet enough to express his sentiments on that head to General Paez, the second in com mand, and eVen to propo4 rodiim that they should remove, General Bolivar from his situation at the head of the army. Paez gave an attentive ear' jo. time suggestions of Colonel Wilson, blamed the , condact of his .colieagne, and appared to acquiesce in the project for displacing him, until the de sign was fully revealed. Ele then gate information of time whole proceeding to Bolivar. Colonel Wilson Wag placed nrider arrest ; and when the adviees came away, was about to be tried by a Court martial. W e are desired to state, from a very respectable source, that the accounts recently made public concerning the dissen sions in the civil Government of the Mauritius have been much exaggerated. As the character of General Hall, the present. Governor, appears peculiarly called in question, it is become necessary to add, in behalf of that gallant officer, that he has km; been extremely active in arranging effectual mea- Imes for the complete abolition of the Slave-trade, in which he was strenuously opposed, not only by the merchants and traders immediately interested, but. by the leading civil autho rities. From the struggle caused by this opposition, anl a determination on his part to abolish this., inhuman traffic, many measures, appearing at first view somewhat violent and irregular, have certainly been adopted : but until a full state ment of all particulars shall arrive, which is very shortly ex pected, the Public will not suffer any stigma to rest on the character of an excellent functionary, on partial or imperfect evidence.
